And another mini room dedicated to puzzles for all ages, jigsaw puzzles organized by age level and number of pieces, as well as mechanical puzzles and brain teasers. I was able to find a 100-piece glitter puzzle featuring unicorns and rainbows, perfect for my niece's bday. Staff was hard to find, roaming around the store blending in with customers wandering the aisles. But once the employee saw me waiting at the front counter, he helped grab my selected puzzle off a top shelf and the purchase process was quick and easy. Free street parking was limited on a Friday afternoon, but not impossible to find. I secured a spot just a block away.

I bought a great Martin Cut away Acoustic guitar from this store in Dubin in 2024.... and while I…read morewanted to really learn to play it... I saw it as a big hurdle to overcome. Unfortunately, because of my mindset, I let it sit in the corner of my home office all that time. I finally started Guitar lessons back in January of this year with Chris Dunleavy, my teacher once every week for 30 minute sessions. WOW.......This has been the greatest thing in the world I did to get this new skill heading in the right direction. Learning to play the guitar doesn't happen over night, just like anything else we learn that is worthwhile. Chris helped me to make progress week by week, step by step, skill by skill. He is an accomplished musician, just like ALL of the instructors in that store. I now know for a fact, that I will accomplish, together with Chris exactly where I want to go. Im seeing it come alive week by week ane Im so happy with the results,. I started with zero Guitar skills. I am actually playing songs now. The entire staff in this store all amazing!! Its like a fun place to be for learning and support - super cool family culture and they all love music. Shout out to Sid the store manager for creating a great culture, Cathryn Price - the manager of the instructors and lessons department - truly a "PRICE"less personality; and of course to Chris my personal instructor!! If youre sitting on the fence... JUST DO IT..... and remember it's about PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION! Take advantage of the FREE 15 minute Trial sessions and the scheduled Free Saturday Group sessions. So much to learn from great musicians!!

No call and no one answered the phone so I went in Sunday afternoon to get it. It was sitting in a store room untouched. The front desk said the repair guy is not in again until Tuesday but promised me a call with an update. Again NO CALL and no answer when trying to avoid a 20 min drive to the store just to check in. Why can't anyone answer the phone?! Day 5 of them having the guitar, Drove in again Tuesday night to check on the guitar. Jack was still loose, worse than before and totally unplayable now and no evidence of it getting restrung. Took my guitar and left. What a joke, what do you pay your repair guy to actually do? Guitar is now in worse shape than when I took it in since he loosened the jack even more to inspect it. Thanks for damaging my guitar. I would call and report this to a manager but again, no one answers the phone. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

The review is for the Academy. Not the teacher…read more Pro: Many teachers to choose from. The director actually recommends the right teacher to our kid that we appreciate. Cons: It bugs me when the schools are cutting corners. It's shocking that they use a demolished site as a recital spot. it's financial savvy of them to have their own recital venue that increase their margin. BUT if the independent piano teacher or tiny schools can pull out a decent recital experiences for students, How can this massive school use a pre-demolished site for recital. It will not get better even if they remodeled as it's just a sad space among all their future classrooms.

I highly recommend Chris Ansuini and Seeds of Music Academy for music instruction. Obviously, he is…read moreexpert in all types of guitar instruction and has been teaching me bass, electric, and acoustic guitar as well as music theory and reading music. He also knows the local music scene, has introduced me to other players at my level, and has coached our band and set up shows for us to perform live. Our band also worked with Jules Leyhe of Seeds... who is also excellent. Regarding whether you should get a music teacher, my experience is that I progressed much faster, maybe twice as much, because a teacher pushes you to do the things you need to do, but hate doing, in order to improve, e.g., tempo, theory. Put another way, you spend much more time practicing and much less time noodling.

As I sat and thought about it, I couldn't let that happen, so I found Sweet Sound Piano. I got so lucky that they just happened to be in the area and came over within a few hours, picked up and stored the piano for 2 years because I didn't have the space for it at the time. After purchasing another home, I had the perfect place for it, they delivered my piano and it was in perfect condition! I highly recommend Sweet Sound, they did an amazing job for me. I have read some of the other reviews about them trying to sell services, etc. and honestly, I don't understand what's wrong with that. They are a business and if they have products and services that help preserve the fine instrument, why would they not offer those services? They offered additional services to me as well, I chose what I wanted and said no to what wasn't important to me at the time. I'm adding this in because I am going to choose to use them again soon and I am very happy with their service and my decision to continue to use Sweet Sound Piano!

My son started from their Pleasanton location learning piano about 7 years ago. The principal, Ms. Rimma is very professional managing the school. She evaluates every student and assigns a teacher according to their level and schedule. She gives good advice and recommendations. My son started with Ms. Tetyana who is very patient with little kids and she is old school type of teacher focusing on fundamentals which is very important building my son's basic techniques. After a year, my son was changed to Ms. Eleanor who is the best teacher ever!! She teaches with love and passion. She is very dedicated to teaching, hardworking, and has many successful students who won all kinds of rewards. After couple years, my son progressed very well under her coaching and started to win 1st and 2nd place in numerous competitions. Ms. Eleanor definitely knows how to teach and encourage kids at different ages. She is not only teaching piano but also helping children to nurture a good character. Piano is more than just a technique or skill, Ms. Eleanor teaches kids to love and enjoy music. My son doesn't listen to parents to practice, but he only listens to Ms. Eleanor Highly recommend Radayeva Music Studio and Ms. Eleanor! (Unfortunately she has a long waiting list to take students, but it worths the waiting!)
